The Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics’ Post

One of the best example why #Diversity and #Inclussion matter. #CyberFirst is a great approach to find the future #CybeSecurity talents - and definitely not only as white males. Check the report! Thank You National Cyber Security Centre for all the heavy work!

#CyberFirst is improving access to higher education. This year we've provided 125 students with bursaries - with 42% of recipients being women and 22% coming from ethnic minority backgrounds. With nine in ten of our grads now in jobs in cyber, learn more in our 2023 Annual Review ⤵️

A drop in the ocean of the 'cybersecurity skills gap', I feel. We need more apprenticeships, more true junior roles with no prior experience needed, more help and engagement from the established cybersecurity community. #pleasehelp #doingtherightthing #doitnow #cyberfirst National Cyber Security Centre
